Psalms 24 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 24
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
2In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame.
3And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.
4May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths.
5Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.
6O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
7Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.
8The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
9He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
10All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies.
11Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great.
12Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.
13His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.
14The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them.
15My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.
16Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.
18See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.
19Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.
21The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.
22Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
Psalms 24
1The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
